Exactly to remove the dirt and junk that gets in there over time, so the same could be said about the PS fluid too!

 

Cain what do you do for a living.......

 

What does that matter?

 

Ok
Cain I know you have an 06 Monte LTZ

Unless if I am missing some pages from my manual

NO WHERE IN THE OWNERS MANUAL DOES IT STATE THAT THE POWER STEERING FLUID BE FLUSHED......

Matter effect it states when to check power steering fluid

Quote " it is not necessary to regularly check power steering fluid unless you suspect there is a leak in the system or you hear an unusual noise. A fluid loss in this system could indicate a problem. Have the system inspected and repaired" Unquote

page 5-36

This system is a semi-closed system. Unless if you have parts failure, the only way dirt will get into the system is by the operator not following the proper way of checking the system out. If you clean the cap and the area around the power steeering pump before you check the fluid level most likely you will not get dirt in it......

 

"Most likely" is not a chance I'd take with a car myself. It's just my .02 worth that it is good routine maintenance to get into the habit of doing. If you or others don't want to then that's on you. I wouldn't want to take that chance. Do you have your fuel injection system cleaned every so often? I do. It runs better and keeps the gas mileage up. But then again just my opinion.

 

You take more of a chance be flush the system out.
But hey thats you and good for you doing it.....

If you only knew what happens when you remove the old power steering fluid and replace with new.......

Clean power steering fluid (or some systems uses Dexron) cleans before it lubercates. This is where alot of leaks will start
but hey

its your money, enjoy spending it.
I think you said it before..... if you dont know what you are talking about dont post your answers (I think Im close to what you told someone) do your home work first. Sit back and learn a little

Thats my $1.00 worth.....

I've learned that PREVENTATIVE maintenance goes a long way to having a healthy, long lasting vehicle!!! Maybe you should learn a little mrrench!

 

And as I said before, if you cared to read closer, it's just my opinion and my .02 worth. It's not worth arguing over.
